That moment was amazing. Those sharp and curved horns are very destructive to their mucular necks during pitting.

The most action packed fighting for now i think belongs to yaks, their horn is absolutely designed to catapult and the fact that the terrain itself is quite unforgiving with cliffs and falls which makes their fight thrilling, with cape buffaloes- the one video with one of the buffalo loosing it's horn is quite awesome as well- they are designed for more interlocking and throwing the opponent from the side hooking. Water buffalo dosn't have dramatic tightly curled horns like cape and like in your video they are involved in serious twisting and the reaping motion of their long horns produce so much cuts on the back of the neck probably this area is reinforced to counter this strategy, i ve see very graphic footage of  horns going deep on the flanks and unable to dislodge, those long curved horn once enters it enters deep, these fights in Vietnam and Thailand are controversial as animal cruelty on the other hand there is cultural aspect involved in it, if not for these festivals we would frankly not see a powerful specimen of domestic water buffaloes at all
